Rev Timothy D Grooms Born in 1965 to Furman Grooms, jr (deceased) and Patricia (Francis) Grooms in the hills of east Tennessee in Newport. I prayed and asked Jesus to save me at the age of 13 and was baptized shortly thereafter and joined Riverview Baptist Church in Newport,Tennessee. Currently my family and I are members at Cave Hill Baptist Church in Newport, Tennessee, serving under a wonderful man of God, Pastor James Suggs. I was ordained and licensed to preach the gospel in April 2001, today I fill in as a supply preacher in the East Tennessee Baptist Association or wherever God leads. Rev Alvin Watts of Riverview Baptist Church has been a big part of my ministry, helping me grow in so many ways, and now I'm blessed to be serving under one of my preaching heros, Jack Bratton, pastor of Wilsonville Baptist Church and program director of the Radio Bible Hour, and I thank God for both of these men. As a young man Bill Lane of Riverview Baptist Church and Kenny Rains of the Tennessee Baptist Convention had a great influence on my life, and it was Rev Adam Sanders who got me involved in missions work, and I truly thank God for all these men and all they have done for me. Also I was a commissioned missionary of Riverview Baptist Church, serving in Brazil in October 2002 and also in May 2006 in the Amazon with Wilsonville Baptist Church. Growing up in the home of an alcoholic, God blessed and protected me and my family during some very troubling times, I thank my God from where He brought me from! I am married to my soul mate Teresa since 1986 and have 2 beautiful children, Joshua and Hannah. My hearts desire is to evangelize and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ across the world in these final hours. Its to the glory of Jesus Christ that I willingly serve. Teresa L Grooms 
Born in 1968 to Eugene Groves and June (Graybeal) Groves in Bristol, VA. I was taken to church early on as a child by my mother, and hearing and learning the word of God. Then as a teenager, going to church with a girlfriend of mine, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. Although in my teenage years I stepped out of Gods will , and made some really bad choices. Thank God for his mercy and grace. I met Tim at the age of 17 and married him at age 18. God blessed us with two beautiful children, Joshua, and Hannah. I am a member of Cave Hill Baptist Church. Also I was a commissioned missionary of Riverview Baptist Church, serving in Brazil in October 2002. I love to sing for the Lord and praise and worship the Lord every opportunity I get. My hearts desire is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with all I come in contact with and to help troubled kids.
